If we put in a 100% effort and lose, then I'll look around for making trades and tweaking the team.

Did you even watch the game? Montreal worked hard to get a one goal lead, sat on it, let in a goal, then worked hard to get the lead again, sat on it, then put in an empty netter. We didn't even try. Major league versus minor league. People are way too obsessed with hockey videogames and trading all of the time.
